Hi everyone... considering that is almost imposible to get a 4d rubber ser, what could be the best alternative? A standar rubber can be adapted? like this one?  ------------- The owls are not what they seem |

that top pic is what they call pinch molding, a lot of the 80's and early 90's cars had it on the edge of metal in the door jambs, it's not a rubber seal. my s-10 blazer has it with the rubber door seal glued to it but the glue eventually comes off  as it doesn't stick to the slick vinyl molding that well------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

not that i can think of, unless you could find a similar car that would have very close seals but IDK and if it were a popular car chances are the 4 drs wouldn't be popular enough to repop seals for them either???? ------------- JOHN 74 GRAN TORINO S&H CLONE 74 VETTE CUSTOM 90 S10 BLAZER 4X4 LIFTED 77 CELICA CUSTOM 75 V8 MONZA SUPERCHARGED 79 COURIER VERT.

For what's it's worth I have looked and looked for 4DR rubber seals and they occasionally pop up on Ebay, but like anything else rubber, it deteriorates with time. I found an NOS tailgate rubber weatherstripping for my wagon and when it arrived I soaked it in McGuire's Rubber conditioner and it looked great at first, but it's starting to show cracks and wear on certain places where it is squeezed by the tailgate when shut. Unfortunately, I have not found anything else (universal) that would work for the doors.  ------------- Carlos....1975 Gran Torino Squire Station Wagon restored to look like a 1973 Torino Station Wagon my Dad bought new from McAnary Ford on June 6, 1973 in Gary,Indiana |

How about a 2dr set and try to adapt? How terrible it could be? ------------- The owls are not what they seem |
